The long-term harms to survivors' physical, psychological and social wellbeing are profound and well documented, and yet there are few studies exploring how to best promote resilience and holistic healing. This is especially true within shelter programs (where the majority of anti-trafficking services are provided) and during the transition out of residential shelter care, which is often a sensitive and challenging process. The current study begins to address this gap by centering the lived experiences of six women residing in a trafficking-specific shelter in Uganda as they unexpectedly transitioned back to their home communities due to the COVID-19 lockdown. We explore this pivotal moment in participants' post-trafficking journey, focusing on how these women described and interpreted their rapidly changing life circumstances-including leaving the shelter, adjusting back to the community setting, and simultaneously navigating the uncertainties of a global pandemic. Four core themes emerged from the analysis: economic insecurities as a cross-cutting hardship; intensification of emotional and physical symptoms; social disruptions; and sources of hope and resilience. By centering their personal stories of struggle and strength, we hope to elevate survivors' own accounts and draw on their insights to identify actionable considerations for future programming.</p>","PeriodicalId":47277,"journal":{"name":"Affilia-Feminist Inquiry in Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9726634/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45699292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores how the feminist organizing, scholarship, and activism of the past decade—specifically around the #MeToo movement and trans-exclusionary radical feminism (TERF) wars—have impacted social work praxis and laid bare the dualistic binds of a post-structuralism that has been consumed and recast within neoliberalism as demobilized identity politics. By examining these limitations, questions are raised regarding next steps for a social work praxis concerned with justice, transformation, and liberation.","PeriodicalId":47277,"journal":{"name":"Affilia-Feminist Inquiry in Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46974535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strength of critical feminisms is their capacity to reimagine the limiting parameters of exclusion (e.g., of Black people and people of color, of butch lesbians, etc.) that are based in many of the same principles that bolster patriarchal definitions of gender and sexuality. Such patriarchal definitions include the pressure to express and experience gender and sexuality in a static manner that relegates all other expressions as Other or merely transitional. If the purpose of critical feminisms is to explore the “issues of power [and]…the ways that gender ideology… is produced, reproduced, resisted, and changed in and through the everyday experiences of” people, then the concepts that this paper explores should be of the utmost importance within critical feminisms. In doing so critical feminisms must examine the contributions and experiences of trans, non-binary, and queer people that help us to reimagine what it means to be a feminist in a world of free expression.","PeriodicalId":47277,"journal":{"name":"Affilia-Feminist Inquiry in Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46301618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kim, Sara Goodkind","doi":"10.1177/08861099231163651","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/08861099231163651","url":null,"abstract":"The year 2022 came to a close with the sudden and swift removal of Professor Alan Dettlaff, a respected child welfare scholar and leader in the growing abolitionist movement, from his position as Dean of the University of Houston Graduate School of Social Work (Flaherty, 2023). While this was one of the more prominent dismissals in academic social work, it put in stark human terms the impact of a renewed and effective onslaught of political repression in education. An academic social work community quickly gathered over the holidays to support Dr. Dettlaff and forge a public response and call to action. Dr. Terri Friedline and Dean Beth Angell of the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work (2023) hosted a national forum in early January 2023 called Social Work and Abolition in the New Year to add transparency to the University of Houston’s dismissal of Dr. Dettlaff from his leadership position. The panelists, including two members of Affilia’s editorial leadership team, stood in support of Dr. Dettlaff, denouncing alarming efforts to silence and root out critical frameworks and those who speak out against racism and other systems of oppression. Dr. Dettlaff’s censure demonstrates that while lukewarm anti-racism might be tolerated or applauded, bold challenges to the institutions that uphold racism including policing, prisons, and the child welfare system—increasingly identified as the pillars of carceral social work—are not. Alan Dettlaff’s removal, of course, is just one result of the ongoing evisceration of racial and gender justice advances that have been made since the civil right era. In the summer of 2020, the global protests against police murders of Black and Brown people raised widespread public demands to “defund the police” that, for some, extended to calls to abolish policing, prisons, and the punishing systems represented, in part, by social work. The backlash has been swift. Today, the daily postings of new state legislation and school board policies quashing even the mention of race or gender beyond the binary—followed by silencing, admonishments, dismissals, and even threats to life—have become shockingly commonplace. We are aware that many of us as writers and readers of Affilia have been directly impacted by these frightening trends. We write this editorial as a tribute to Alan Dettlaff and the many of us who continue to champion critical thinking, scholarship, teaching, policies, and practice—even in the face of such threats—and to those of us who may do so with increasing wariness and even retreat. This piece further serves as an acknowledgment of the soberness of these times and as a call for solidarity. As we use these pages to document the terror of this moment of backlash and attack, we echo the recent Social Welfare History Group bibliography, “Red Scares, Political Repression, and Social Work: Why Now?” (Abramovitz et al., 2023) by asking if these current trends constitute a modern-day red scare.

Drawing on the participatory action research (PAR) framework of photovoice, we explored lived experiences of DR-TB stigma among nine affected women in Mumbai, India. Consenting women took, shared, and contributed to the critical interpretation of 37 non-identifying images and associated narratives with one another and with PAR researchers. The study surfaced vivid, untold stories of trauma and life-altering encounters with enacted, anticipated, and internal stigma, that were characterized by loss (of self, voice, status, mobility), abuse (mental, social) and deep internal distress (shame, isolation, suffocation, peril). The study also revealed how stigmatized women found means to build resilience and resist the impacts of stigma. We further witnessed the building of their collective resilience through study participation. Photovoice proved to be a uniquely compelling method of data capture and interpretation, with potential to develop meaningful engagement and solidarity among women affected by DR-TB.","PeriodicalId":47277,"journal":{"name":"Affilia-Feminist Inquiry in Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41484605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Guz, Brianna Suslovic","doi":"10.1177/08861099231157337","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/08861099231157337","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, we theorize toxic white femininities as a performance and persona in school social work. To develop the theory and analytic tool of “toxic white femininities,” we used critical discourse analysis to analyze school social work professional association materials from 1906 to 1936. Our analysis isolated three performances of toxic white femininities in early 1900s school social work: (1) the exclusionary social and material gains of “her” professionalization, (2) “her” reinforcement of racial-gender-class hierarchies, and (3) “her” strategic use of helper identity to mask social control. We trace how these performances coalesced into a collective professional persona, operating beyond the scope of individual practitioners. This persona institutionalized a racialized-gendered professional identity, presented in the archives as a universal “she”—white, middle class, and feminine. With private funding from white elites in the early 20th century, school social workers—constructed discursively as white women—would become the “right” profession to shape the lives of young people and guard the privileges of whiteness. We close with a discussion of “her” long shadow and contemporary performances, outlying the ways toxic white femininities operate as a form of incremental violence impacting the profession and social services.","PeriodicalId":47277,"journal":{"name":"Affilia-Feminist Inquiry in Social Work","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42146400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
